Probably to be identified with τὸ τεμένισμα τὸ Λίουιον ὠνομασμένον (
to temenisma to Liouion ōnomasmenon, "the precinct called 'the Livium' "), which
Tiberius dedicated at the beginning of 7 BC. A restoration between 364 and 378 by
Valentinian I,
Valens and
Gratian is recorded in an inscription, and either this macellum or the Macellum Magnum is marked on fragment 4 of the
Severan Marble Plan of Rome. In the Chronicle of
Benedict of Soracte under the year 921, the
aecclesia Sancti Eusebii iuxta macellum parvum (church of
Sant'Eusebio next to the small market) is mentioned. In the
Liber Pontificalis the church of
Santa Maria Maggiore was described as
iuxta macellum Libiae (next to Libia's market), and that of San Vito in Macello; and the processional route described by the Lateran canon Benedict, the
Ordo Benedicti of 1143, notes
intrans sub arcum ubi dicitur macellum Livianum ("ientering under the arch [of Gallienus] where it is called the Livian market"). ==Archaeology==
